display_most_starred()

Description Display the most starred R Github Repositories

Parameters

• github_user (str): the Github user name to look for
• n (num): the number of most starred Github R repositories to fetch. Defaults to 10.

Example

batata::display_most_starred(n = 10)

install_starred_cran()

Description Installs the latest CRAN-available R packages starred on Github.

Parameters

• github_user (str): the Github user name to look for
• n (num): the last n starred repositories. Defaults to 5, in which case the function will look for the last 5 starred repositories, filter R from non-R repos and install them if available on CRAN.

Example The following code chunk will look at the last 10 repositories that I have starred, filter out R repositories, and install them if available on CRAN:

# my Github user name is 'feddelegrand7'
install_starred_cran(github_user = 'feddelegrand7', n = 10)

Note that if the starred repo is not available on CRAN, install_starred_cran() will simply ignore it.

install_starred_github()

Description install_starred_github() behaves the same way as install_starred_cran() except that it will install the repositories from Github (not from CRAN), so that you can install packages that are not available on CRAN.

Parameters

• github_user (str): the Github user name to look for
• n (num): the last n starred repositories. Defaults to 5, in which case the function will look for the last 5 starred repositories, filter R from non-R repos and install them
• upgrade (str): whether to upgrade or not out of date packages. You can choose from ‘always’ or ‘never’. Defaults to ‘never’. For more info, see install_github() from the remote package.

Example The following code chunk will look at the last five repositories that I have starred, extract R repositories (in case some starred repositories belong to another programming language) and install them:

install_starred_github(github_user = 'feddelegrand7', 
                       n = 5, 
                       upgrade = "never")

install_most_starred()

Description Allows you the install the most starred CRAN packages that are available on Github. It takes one argument n which specifies the number of the most starred R packages (in descending order) that one wants to install.

Parameters

• n: the number of most starred CRAN packages (in descending order). Defaults to 10, in which case the function will look at the 10 most starred R repositories and install them if available on CRAN.

Example The following code chunk will look for the 10 most starred R repositories and will install them if available on CRAN. Of course, it will ignore R repositories that are not packages, (e.g R4DS repo):

install_most_starred(n = 10)
